My iPhone 13 with ios 15.5 will not connect to my alpine ilx f905d.

Hi dears;

I' ve also used Halo9 with Iphone XS for 2 months. Apple CarPlay were worked till last week.

When I was driving, Halo9 lost connection suddenly. After that I talked by my reseller and he told me there should be a software update in near future. He mailed to Alpine Japan, and they told him, they were working on it. When the software update is ready, he' ll call me and call my car to reseller service.

Or he told me it will be an easy USB software update, and we can use it easyly. If I solve the issue, I'll write again. Right now, there is no any software update on Alpine Support Page for Halo9 but I'm waiting.

I hope this answer is good for you.

I think it’s not about IPhone version. Challenge should come from IOS from my opinion.

But I’m using IOS 15.4.1

I have already talk with reseller in Turkey, and they sent an email to Alpine Japan because there are a few users in Turkey.

he told me they would release a fix in a few days. There is no news right now.

Hi dear;

At least there is a fix was released. I did not chcek yet, but it will be work.

I would try to put download page, there is a manual also. Please check it before installation softwre update.

I hope it will be solve our terrible problem.

I’m also having the same issue on the same device. It worked fine the first time it was powered up after install, but since then CarPlay fails to work.

The device shows as connected to the iPhone, but doesn’t ever fully connect - you received the “Connecting to the device…” prompt, then it eventually times out and states “Unable to connect to apple CarPlay”.

I’ve tried multiple iPhones, all running different iOS. Versions, and all seem to suffer the same issue.

Having a look online, it seems that we’re not the only people with the issue. A few people in Europe are also reporting the same problem.

I’ve also called/emailed Alpine to try and get assistance from their side. As it stands,

this expensive head unit isn’t fit for its primary purpose.

My phone, 13 Pro Max 256gb, connects and all the features of CarPlay work except the phone. I can't hear anything. If I unplug from CarPlay, the phone work through Bluetooth as it should. Is there an update to fix this problem, and if so how long until it's released?

I have 13 pro max and same issue. I got the alpine iLX-F511 installed last week and everything worked perfect. after the 15.5 update the issue started. I can only use bluetooth audio. Car play will not connect. Is the an IOS issue or alpine??

Yes, this is exactly same on my car, I can also use by Bluetooth hands free options. but idk how long we have to wait for update for solve CarPlay problem. If there is a news, I will share with you.
